MANCHESTER, England, November 14, 2026 — A 27-year-old man died in an ambulance after suffering multiple stab wounds in Crumpsall, north Manchester, early on Saturday. Police have launched a murder investigation and are searching for a group of suspected attackers.
Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to Moss Bank at approximately 1:34 a.m. GMT after the North West Ambulance Service reported a seriously injured man. Paramedics tried to save him, but he died while being taken to hospital.
Detectives believe several males wearing dark clothing and balaclavas attacked the victim before fleeing towards Ash Tree Road. GMP’s Saturday afternoon statement said no arrests had been made.
Detective Inspector Neil Higginson, who is leading the investigation for the force’s Major Incident Team, said:
“This was a shocking and tragic attack which has resulted in a young man losing his life.”
Higginson expressed sympathy for the victim’s family and loved ones, and said detectives were working to establish the circumstances and identify everyone involved. Specially trained officers are supporting the family.
